Esther 2017-03-14T00:00:00Z

Even though this accomodation was 40km away from our actual destination, it was well worth it. We could not fault anything and had a wonderful stay. Most importantly for us, our dogs had a good time as well and had lots of freedom exploring the property. Thank you for accommodating us Helen and for all the little extra bits and bobs you set out to make us feel at home.

Charles2017-02-27T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Helen's for our weekend in and around the Yarra Valley - it was a lovely, modern, clean and well equipped property with a spacious outdoor patio area and great views. It is well located to access the Yarra Valley and surrounding areas! Helen gave some great reccomendations of cafés, restaurants and wineries close-by - would definitely stay again!

Elliot2017-02-04T00:00:00Z

I stayed with Helen and her family for a total of three days but to be honest I wish it had been more! Very welcoming, the accommodation was amazing and unbelievable for the price of what you pay. The location was great for access to Melbourne or as I did, a trip into the Yarra and National parks right on the doorstep! Highly recommended! Thanks Helen xx

Simon2015-10-28T00:00:00Z

Helen was a wonderful host and we were made to feel very welcome. The house is in a stunning location, with beautiful views across the valley. Everything was well catered for and the bottle of wine was a lovely touch.

Catherine2017-04-02T00:00:00Z

Kathi was an amazing host, they had a lovely family and a very hospitable environment. Kathi provided a lift for my family and I and made sure we had a map and knew how to get home. The place itself was very clean and had a homely feel. Would definitely recommend staying.

Alice 2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

Loved, loved, loved our stay at Kathi's! Our experience was picture perfect -- private space among the gum trees with gracious hosts nearby for conversation, driving directions, and suggestions about bush walks, restaurants, grocery, and other outings. St Louis is half a world away from Eltham (and kangaroos!), but we hope to be back one day!

Harrison2017-02-20T00:00:00Z

We had a really nice 2 night stay. The setting is lovely, bushland with plenty of birds while still only 5 minute drive from central Eltham. My kids enjoyed a daily dip in the pool and collecting and eating the fresh laid eggs. The accomodation was clean and comfortable. It suited us for a 2 night stay. There is no oven in the room which was fine for 2 nights as we ate out one night and made a salad the next. Kathi offered us the use of the BBQ if needed. Kathi and her family were very friendly and did their best to make us feel welcome and help in any way. Overall a lovely place to stay.

Janet2017-04-07T00:00:00Z

Kathi and Jamie's studio was clean comfortable and affordable.lovely setting .comfortable beds and the best shower .friendly and welcoming hosts .will definitely be back when in the area again .

I own a beautiful mud-brick home amongst the leafy (SENSITIVE CONTENTS HIDDEN)s in Eltham, part of which has a self-contained studio apartment on the ground level to my split-level dwelling. It has it's own entry and parking space and is ideal for mature adults.

Eltham is a leafy suburb on the outskirts of Melbourne. It is known as a hub for artists and nature lovers, as it is surrounded by native bush.

Atika is a lovely host. Friendly and warm whilst also giving her guests space. The self contained pad she offers is in luscious bush surrounds, and beautifully crafted with a blend of modern and mudbrick. Set at the rear of her house it is a lovely private oasis.

Fiona2016-03-19T00:00:00Z

Great place and great area. Atika is a great host and we had a wonderfully relaxing time at her wonderful home. Thank you Atika

The kitchen has everything you'd need. We also appreciated being able to do our laundry right there. Rose is a gracious hostess. We were delighted to not only be greeted by her on arrival, but to receive a lovely arrival gift of wine and snacks. We were privileged to be her first guests, & we would definitely return!

Montmorency is a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, 18 km (11 mi) north-east from Melbourne's CBD. Montmorency was named after a local farm, Montmorency Estate, which in turn was named for the town of Montmorency, Val-d'Oise in France

A space to suit singles/couples only. My home is quiet and peaceful, down a long pebble driveway, away from the street. Sometimes all you hear are the birds and kookaburra's serenading you. The running water in the fish pond, just below the bedroom window will sooth and relax! Enjoy the scent of my handmade aromatherapy soaps and sample creams that I leave in your room on arrival.
As I live in the house I am happy to interact or give your privacy, am happy to help with suggestions on where to visit and where to eat, whether locally or further afield
I love my suburb and over 20 years ago, I said to a friend - "I would love to live here one day", I finally arrived in my beautiful home approx 6 years ago. I love the community feel and friendliness of the people around.
The local village 10 minutes walk away has lots of cafes, and shops for supplies. There are a couple of restaurants and a newly opened wine bar with a great selection of wines and beers.
Train Station is 10 minutes to walk. Bus is approx 5 minute to walk.
There is undercover parking for one car at my property
My pets - I have one boy dog (see picture) and one girl cat and some fish in the pond outside. There is lots of wildlife around!
As I am a clinical aromatherapist, for an extra cost I can offer you a relaxing Aromatherapy massage or facial with a blend of essential oils mixed especially for you.
Myself, Charlie and Audrey look forward to hosting you in our home

We were grateful to be able to make our own breakfasts in her tidy kitchen, and walked around the pretty suburban roads in the area.

Simon2015-09-03T00:00:00Z

We had a wonderful time staying at Eileen's place. She was gracious and hospitable, and the accommodation was very pleasant. Her house is in a nice neighborhood, with sidewalks for getting places. The train station is nearby, but we were mainly visiting people who lived close to her home. Eileen made us feel welcome and provided what we needed (linens, etc.), but did not make us feel like intruders. We made free use of her kitchen to fix our quick breakfasts. We happily recommend Eileen's place to others. This was our very first AirBnB experience, and it was so positive we will certainly make use of this service when we travel to other places.

Enjoy trees, birds and a river in this appartment in quiet residential street. Hear birdsong, no traffic. 15 minutes walk to the train station, 30 minutes drive to the city centre. Suit a couple or two singles. Ample storage in shed/garage below.

This is a great apartment in a quiet part of Melbourne yet close enough to work in the city.
We are seeking a renter for at leat 1 month, or even the whole period 17 May - 26 June. So if you only need a place for a day or two perhaps this is not for you.

Greensborough is a scenic outer suburb of Melbourne which has good local shops, sports facilities, banks etc. The river outside the apartment is a beautiful feature for morning walks, a jog to keep fit or cycle to the train station. For keen cyclists, a 90 minute cycle along the river gets you into the city centre.

Beautifully appointed self contained 1 bedroom apartment in a private location in the heart of the Park Orchards/Warrandyte region, gateway to the Yarra Valley. It is part of our family home and you will have access to our family BBQ, Gazebo and Swimming Pool.

Master Bedroom including Queen Bed with full en-suite, digital television and walk in robe. Family room with full size kitchen and double sofa bed for up to 2 guests. Television and DVD player. Access to solar heated pool area with gazebo and BBQ.

Great place to stay. Big bed room, walk in wardrobe, own shower and toilet, dinning and kitchen area. Very clean and tidy, most essentials are there so you can cook if you want, there is a big fridge if you want to stay longer term too. I have a small dog and they kindly accepted my request to have him stay. They were very friendly family and I felt really welcomed, not like a just motel customer, from the beginning. Their two cats are gorgeous, Smokey liked playing hide and seek with you, they have a lovely guinea pig name Pumpkin, and loves pat and have a chat with you if you are an animal person. It is a part of big house but your space is on the end of the house so if you want privacy or just want to have your own time you can just stay in your area and they don't disturb you. This is first time for me to stay through Airbnb and I was little unsure how this works but that was a great place and they are wonderful family. Would recommend with no hesitation, if I would be back this area again I would stay their place not at the motel. Thank you very much for Jodie and her family and I hope the next tenant will enjoy their place. Thanks again.

It's a great experience! Jodie is such a great hostess. She prepared lots of materials for the breakfast and even books for my little daughter. I think the pictures did not get the lovely, spacious and luxury house fully described. The garden is also very interesting. It's a pitty we only stay for one night. I'll definitely recommend Jodie's house to others!

Shibin2015-10-19T00:00:00Z

Jodie and David made me feel so welcome and they're very considerate hosts. From providing everything you need including provisions for breakfast to turning on the heating before I got home. If you're into cooking whilst away the kitchen is super and well equipped. The bed is comfy with lots of extra blankets if you like extra layers and even a walk in robe to keep things in their place. It really is a fabulous place, great hosts and the Warrandyte area is beautiful and has plenty of good dining and entertainment options.

Katrina2016-09-21T00:00:00Z

Jodie was a great host and provided a beautiful space for us to enjoy our stay in Park Orchards while exploring the Yarra Valley. All the little extras that she had organised made it feel more like a home and made it very easy for us to enjoy each day. Great location and hospitality!

Great apartment. Dave met us on check in and showed us around. We went to a wedding at Wonga Park so very close. The area around is very lovely. If you want peace and quiet this is the place to go. The kitchen was amazing not that we used it there are lots of great eateries close by. The apartment is very spacious so great for longer stays. Would highly recumbent this little gem.

We were 30 minutes from our concert venue near Coldstream and got to the city in 40 minutes the next morning. Everything seems so close yet you are in this peaceful retreat that could be anywhere. Great room, very spacious, generous kitchen, walk-in-robe, spotless, modern fittings and feel, great shower in fact everything you need is there. You even park undercover. As you can tell, thoroughly impressed with the facility and your hosts Gayle and Mark who are good people. We'll be back!

Gayle greeted us as soon as we arrived. She was very friendly and we definitely enjoyed our weekend. The place is quite and walking out to a lovely view in the morning was definitely something. There is a winery 5 minutes drive away from where we were located and about 20 minutes from wineries in Yarra Valley.

Great apartment. Clean and cozy with modern appliances and furnishing. The property is also fantastic, with beautiful lawns and gardens. The location was a short drive to some nice restaurants. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed or stay. We would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others. Thanks!! :)

Great location and lovely hosts. Spacious room that is beautifully and tastefully appointed.

Carolyn2017-04-25T00:00:00Z

We had an amazing stay! The accommodation and surrounds were absolutely beautiful. It was quiet and relaxing. We had everything we needed! It was the perfect location - not too far from Melbourne and close to the Yarra valley. We will definitely be staying here again. Thanks Gayle!

Nicola2016-10-22T00:00:00Z

This place and the hosts are just wonderful. The accommodation is brand new and fitted out with the newest and nicest features. The property is spectacular and a must to stay at if you are looking to enjoy the beautiful Yarra Valley or even if you are just trying to be a little bit out of the city as it easily commutable to both.

Darren2016-02-17T00:00:00Z

The studio was perfect - had everything we needed, was super clean and secluded. The host was also extremely welcoming upon our arrival. Not a far drive from the CBD either. Couldn't have asked for a better weekend getaway.

Lorent2017-04-30T00:00:00Z

My partner and I had such a great weekend away at Vue de Vin! Gayle and Mark's property is simply beautiful - being set on a large acreage with gorgeous flower and tree-filled surrounds. The studio itself was perfect - super clean and tidy, and very well-decorated! Gayle was also very sweet. Thanks!

A private fully furnished apartment. You have your own space in a native tranquil Australian bushy area. Cockatoos, kookaburras & parrots can be fed right outside your door. Pool & spa for your use. Walking distance to Hurstbridge township & station; only a short drive to Yarra Valley Wine region.

It is great for couples but we have availability for 2 extras on our sofa bed in the same area. You have a full kitchen to cook your own delights.

There are fabulous local shops & cafes in Hurstbridge Village. On Saturdays there is the eclectic local market in nearby St Andrews; there's live music at several local pubs; the Yarra Valley wine region is a half an hour drive away, Kinglake National Park is nearby also. Warrandyte is 20 minutes drive away and offers cafes, locally made handcrafts & more.

I spent the first night of my honeymoon at Hurstbridge Haven, and it was nothing short of amazing. The hosts were so warm and friendly, and accommodated to every need we would want, right down to the heavenly Manuka honey based toiletries! I can't recommend this place enough, and will definitely come back again. Thank you so much Tania and Richard, for your hospitality, 5 stars x

Susie and Rob2016-03-20T00:00:00Z

Richard and Tania are great hosts, they made me feel very welcome and went out of their way to make sure I had everything I needed for an enjoyable stay. The property is set on a beautiful bush setting with an abundance of native wildlife right on your doorstep. The outdoor inground pool and spa is beautiful and is a lovely luxury to have on those warmer days. Will book again for sure.

Leon2015-07-26T00:00:00Z

This was the BEST experience of our trip! We LOVED staying here. Richard and Tania and their son were the best hosts and we enjoyed getting to know them. The bed in the cottage is so great! Dicky and Tonia were flexible and cooked the BEST food. If you have the chance you must order the Pumpkin Soup. The location was great and only about 45 minutes outside of Melbourne. Whatever you do, you HAVE to stay here!

Chandler2016-06-15T00:00:00Z

Perfect little getaway in a tranquil setting. Richard & Tania are delightful hosts. They made it their mission to ensure we were as comfortable as can be. Highly recommend this little escape from life's madness.

Lora2015-07-11T00:00:00Z

We had a great stay at Hurstbridge Heaven. The highlight of this place is for sure the pool with hot tub and Richard & Tania's cooking. The house is itself is not anything special but the access to the private hot tub where you can watch the stars in the evening more than made up for that. We spent our final day of our five weeks trip to Australia here and finally got to see some kangaroos just up the road from the house.

Joakim2016-03-09T00:00:00Z

Richard and Tania were fantastic hosts, yummy food (You have to try the Pizza), beautiful surroundings, gorgeous birds, great pool and spa and a lovely area. Very peaceful and excellent accommodation and make sure you check out the local market on Saturdays. The Amor family thank Dickie and Tania for our Hurtsbridge Haven experience!

Jeremiah2016-01-09T00:00:00Z

Tania and Dicky were very welcoming and friendly when we arrived, made sure we were all set up and gave us plenty of advice on things to do locally etc. Our gracious hosts heated their spa for us to use when we arrived and again the following night then left us to enjoy the steamy bubbles under the stars in private. The small private space was just what we were looking for and had all we needed for a relaxing weekend out of the city. Their property has some beautiful wildlife all about and they have fantastic undercover wooden seating in the backyard to read and watch the birds feed. The bed and couch are very comfortable and they even left some fruit, coffee, tea, milk and juice for us to enjoy as well as welcoming chocolate and fresh towels. I would gladly return here any time. The listing is accurate and thorough and we had no surprises. A wonderful experience.

Mark2015-07-19T00:00:00Z

Tania and Richard were lovely, perfect welcome so we were familiar with everything in the studio and garden but also left us to our own devices so we could enjoy our night away without interruption. The listing is exactly the same in real-life as it is on the pictures and description here, a real little haven with beautiful birds, a gorgeous hot tub and pool and modern facilities. We went to the St Andrews market and also to Healesville Sanctuary before heading back to Melbourne all within an hours drive pretty much and all great. We took our own food to cook, so can't comment on the offering from local pubs, Tania and Richard have a catering business so I'm sure their food would have been lovely too had we taken that option! x

Hadyn2015-04-06T00:00:00Z

Anna and Graeme were very welcoming. We enjoyed our stay very much. It was interesting to learn about the construction and design of their unique home. The surrounding bush and farmland is gorgeous. The home brew and cookies were delicious. It was just lovely to arrive to a lit fire, birdsong and frogs croaking. The perfect spot for a weekend getaway!

Nakeshia2016-08-01T00:00:00Z

Anna and Graeme are great hosts, knowledgeable of the area. It's so nice of them to share their property with us - the whole house for ourselves. The house is cozy in a tranquil environment with nice views. We have the facilities we need and we were comfortable throughout our 1 week stay. It's close to nice scenery - Yarra Valley and less than hour drive to Melbourne. Wish we live close by so we can stay in this house during long breaks.

Marilyn2016-07-11T00:00:00Z

A lovely private place to stay in a beautiful natural environment - frogs singing, wombats and kangaroos, nice fresh air. Hosts made sure the fire was on to keep the place warm fr our arrival. The stay was effortless and excellent value. 10/10!

Lucy2016-09-11T00:00:00Z

Anne and Graeme were truly wonderful. From supplying home made cookies to home made beer and cider. They even lent a personal piece of equipment to my son and I which made our trip fantastic. Such a peaceful enjoyable and tranquil place. not that far from the City. We all loved it.

Michael2016-12-27T00:00:00Z

I spent a month here in January 2017. It was a very different experience compared to living in a residential suburb, so I will share my thoughts of this place. + It is spacious and despite being loaded by hosts' old and dusty belongings, you still get heaps of space for yourself. + The kitchen is very well equipped and comes with tones of dishes and cutlery of all forms and sizes. Dishwasher would be a nice addition, but I have got used to living without it. + You literally live in the middle of mother nature. In season expect lots of spiders. I do like spiders but many others do not, so take note. There are also birds but you will only hear them most of the time. I also saw kangaroos and wombats on a couple of occasions. + The house is in a shade and well insulated. Even on days when temperature outside reached 34 degrees, the place stayed comfortably cool. There is also a portable air conditioner (a noisy one) which I used when temperature went above that. + All windows are equipped with nets, which is essential in season to keep mosquitoes out. + The place is so secluded that the hosts are pretty much your only neighbours. You won't see or hear any passing traffic. + The hosts are very nice people, who are there to help but also don't disturb your privacy. + Wonga park itself doesn't have lots of facilities, but there are some good neighbouring suburbs. I especially liked Warrandyte where there are excellent cafes, the best IGA I've ever seen and a nice walking track on the bank of Yarra river. Ringwood and Croydon are also good for shopping. Such a setting however is bound to have some downsides that you have to cope with: - You can't walk anywhere from there except one winery (a pretty good one, by the way). - You won't like the gravel driveway, especially if you've got a low ground clearance car. - If returning after dark you are at risk of hitting a roo. I had a near miss once and avoided it only by reacting instantly and braking very hard (previous experience probably helped). - There is a small sitting area in front of the house, however no full size outdoor facilities. To me, a gazebo with bbq is a must in such a place. The hosts are still building their home, maybe they'll add it in future.

Anna and Graeme's place is wonderful. It's so tranquil, just lovely! Anna and Graeme are extremely friendly. They made us feel very welcome. We would definitely stay again. Thank you to Anna and Graeme for a perfect stay :)
